What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests whether a simple electronic health record alert can help primary care doctors identify patients with fatty liver disease who may have advanced liver scarring. The alert prompts doctors to calculate a risk score and, if needed, order a special ultrasound to check for fibrosis. Researchers will track how often doctors use the tool and how many cases of advanced fibrosis are detected.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
EHR alert and clinical decision support tool
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a simple, scalable way for primary care doctors to catch serious liver scarring early in people with fatty liver disease.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage implementation study, not a treatment trial. The alert may not change doctor behavior or improve patient outcomes, and results may not apply outside this health system.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 225 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Mar 2026

Expected to finish

Sep 2030

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

18 years and older

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Clinicians Clinicians will also be study participants, as we will be surveying them for feedback on the MASLD fibrosis risk assessment intervention. The MUSC primary care network at last count employed 122 clinicians across the 27 primary care practices. Inclusion criteria: 1\. All physicians, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners delivering primary care during the intervention phase of the study. Exclusion criteria: None
